Bindon pleaded self-defence and was acquitted, but the case damaged his reputation, and that, coupled with being seen by directors as difficult to work with, meant his acting career declined. In the 1980s, Bindon became reclusive; he died in 1993. Christina now lives alone in their flat, the entrance to which Tommy never managed to finish carpeting.
